Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete 

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either: Emailing us at [EMAIL ADDRESS]. 

  • Visiting [WEBSITE ADDRESS]. 

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information. You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:
